Monday will mark the beginning of my final semester at George Washington University. With all fingers and toes crossed, I will graduate with a Masters in Health Sciences with a focus in Clinical Research Administration (whew, that is a mouthful). With the beginning of my last semester, I have been seriously thinking about what I would do my thesis/ capstone/ proposal thingy on. What exactly interests me and what do I want to change in the world of research and science?
I have excitedly decided to look at ethics in clinical research (yes, I am very much aware of my nerd status). Specifically, ethics within the research setting at a particular institution. When people think of ethics, they automatically think of what you should and should not do; fairly cut and dry right? WRONG! Ethics, especially dealing in the medical setting, is so complicated and in depth that it is very difficult to muddle through. So, with this in mind, I will give it my best and attempt to develop a medical ethics education class for all research personnel at LSUHSC. Of course, I will not have to specifically implement this program but could if it was good enough.
With that being said, which road do you think you have taken in your life? The High Road or the Low Road? Are you happy with the road that you have chosen? Is there anything that could have been done differently? Would changing life paths have changed your life for the better? For the worse?
As this final semester begins I know that I will have to lean heavily on my family and small group of friends to help see me through this time. It will be difficult but I know that with their help, I will be able to accomplish my goals and begin the next chapter in my life... hmmm... wonder what that will be. ;)
